As some of you may know, I have been actively researching and documenting the New Netherlands ancestry of the WILLIAMSON family of Hunterdon Co. Some of my contributions to and corrections from the current series on the WILLIAMSON family of Gravesend, Kings Co., NY in "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record" are freely available to all in the WILLIAMSON documents at www.perry.streeter.com: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/williamson.pdf or http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/WMSON.TXT Now that the ancestry of my "grandfather" Abraham WILLIAMSON has been fairly well researched, I am turning my attention to the ancestry of his wife, my "grandmother," Sarah (SMITH) WILLIAMSON, dau. of Robert & Jemima (-----) SMITH of Bethlehem Township. What little I currently know of Sarah's ancestry is documented here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/smith-robert.pdf or http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/SMITH-R.TXT Thanks to my cousin Dot Williamson, I have some of her research notes available for research follow-up. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who would be willing to obtain photocopies of the following documents for me from the Hunterdon County Surrogate Court and County Clerk: Docket 06968 This docket refers Abraham Williamson, a child of John Williamson of Bethlehem Township (who d. 1838) who married Sarah Smith, a child of Robert Smith Sr. of Bethlehem Township (who d. 18 Feb 1812 leaving a widow and 10 children). I am assuming that the following documents are related to this docket: Deeds Book 27, pages 318 & 323 Book 78, page 149 Mortgage Book 2, page 197 Ideally, Robert Smith's first grantee deed in Bethlehem would include a phrase indicating his prior residence or perhaps he is named in his unknown father's will. Of course, I will gladly reimburse a volunteer for any photocopying, postage, gas, parking, etc. expenses that may be incurred in assisting me. Please contact me beforehand to ensure that multiple volunteers do not make any redundant efforts. Thank you in advance for your time & efforts--they are sincerely appreciated!
